Résumé :	Four hydrographic surveys were carried out in Gallegos Sound (54 degrees 28'58 '' S-69 degrees 50'55 '' W), a subantarctic glacial fjord. This is the first comprehensive seasonal study for the extreme isolated areas in the Cordillera Darwin Ice Field, Chile. The fjord exhibits a strong seasonal pattern in its oceanographic characteristics. The highest values of total suspended solid concentrations were observed in summer (>15 mg L-1), with the lowest concentrations in winter (
